"Well you seem to be doing phenomenally better than the last time I saw you."

That's Starscream's way of saying "hello," apparently, uttered in a sort of mild and neutral tone that could maybe be interpreted as icy if you squinted enough. The jet is leaning against a door frame in what might come off as a cavalier, smug sort of way were it not for the mildly disconcerted frown on his features. He'd been informed plenty about there being multiple Megatrons here, but there was definitely no mistaking that his Megatron was among that number, from the evidence he'd gathered

They may have their differences, and Starscream might still be terrified of him in a very poorly concealed way, but the Seeker isn't really the sort to skirt around the elephant in the room. No, he's the sort that will march right up to the elephant and prod it with a big sharp stick, to make his presence known and put on a big show of being in control of his fears. If he and Megatron were doomed to occupy the same city, they'd have to deal with one another eventually, and making the first move means that maybe Megatron won't know Starscream has arrived here just yet. Starscream might even get to have the satisfaction of getting the jump on his old boss. Working a dismayed little frown out of him would honestly be enough of a victory to make it worth the risk.
